useCallback is a React Hook that helps optimize components by memoizing callback functions, ensuring the function reference stays the same unless dependencies change.
It prevents unnecessary re-renders or re-executions of child components' useEffect hooks when passing functions as props to child components.
useCallback syntax: const memoizedCallback = useCallback(() => { // Your logic here }, [dependencies]);
It is commonly used when passing functions as props to child components, optimizing performance and preventing expensive computations caused by frequent re-creation of the same function.
